As the geopolitical landscape continues to evolve, the intersection of conventional warfare and cyber operations will undoubtedly shape future conflicts, highlighting the necessity for nations to remain vigilant in both physical and digital arenas. This military confrontation, however, is not confined to traditional warfare alone; cybersecurity experts warn that the current hostilities may escalate into a significant cyber warfare campaign, potentially involving not only the two nations but also their respective allies. On February 22, 2022, just days before launching a full-scale invasion, Russia conducted cyber attacks targeting Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, aiming to instigate widespread power outages. This incident underscores the urgency for nations aligned with either Iran or Israel to enhance their cyber defenses swiftly, as they may find themselves targets in the escalating digital battleground. When these tactics failed to achieve the desired results, Russia opted for conventional military action, a conflict that has now entered its third year as of early 2024.
